Print PageThe call aimed to support small-scale projects (up to 5,000 euros) intended to document (cases of) discrimination, hate crimes and other human rights violations committed on the basis of sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression. Priority areas of the call were: hate crimes and hate speech (including in media), brutalities of law-enforcement authorities, legal position of LGBT people in an eligible country, freedom of assembly and association.
Seven projects had been supported within this call in Hungary, Latvia, Malta, Poland, Portugal, Serbia, and Ukraine.
